sick to the bone i was tired of words i could not swallow "i've been starving myself" of food of hope of love of lust i was tired of diving into toilet bowls "i do not like to throw up" i insisted this but my fingers did not listen life lesson or self pity? ingesting smoke i was afraid this was all i could eat today the fridge had told me different and the cabinets too i am tired of teary eyed binging "i have to leave you alone" i reiterated but i could never have enough selfish promise or short term goal? dizzy accusations this was all my fault i swallowed my words whole and could never spit them out it's starvation eating me up i am tired of leaving tables early "i could have stopped myself" but my legs have proven otherwise routine or bad habit?

Selfish Promises
sick to the bone i was tired of words i could not swallow "i've been starving myself" of food of hope of love of lust i was tired of diving into toilet bowls "i do not like to throw up" i insisted this but my fingers did not listen life lesson or self pity? ingesting smoke i was afraid this was all i could eat today the fridge had told me different and the cabinets too i am tired of teary eyed binging "i have to leave you alone" i reiterated but i could never have enough selfish promise or short term goal? dizzy accusations this was all my fault i swallowed my words whole and could never spit them out it's starvation eating me up i am tired of leaving tables early "i could have stopped myself" but my legs have proven otherwise routine or bad habit?
